Special Cable Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, May Ia get very serious accounts
from welinformed quarter OF the state of affairs
In Germany. Ny informants say the party which
must be described as dominant In Germany is bent
on provoking France into fighting, and Russia is
to be squared for the time and Europe is again to
witness standing fight between the authors OF
the war OF 1870. Bismarck and the emperor's
grandson, William, is is said, are
AT THE HEAD OF THR WAR PARTY.
unfortunately the latter is fast becoming a Der.
sonage OF the first importance In German affairs
The reasons for this are two. The emperor nc
longer plays great part In the conduct OF Ger.
many foreign policy and the crown prince suffers
from cancer and is not likely TO live long This
young Prince William, who Is active and ambi.
tlous. presents himself heir TO the impe-
rial throne and is clearly power TO be reckoned
with. 1t is tolerably well-known that his vote is
Tor war. Perhaps it would be safe to say that the
chances OF an immediate rupture are no less than
at the most dangerous part OF the period between
